Weather has been mild n warm here at Wimblowdriver Towers today, so resumed preparations for the final bit of granite slabbing works up the side of the house. Used up a load of old bricks (bedded on mortar) to bring the old footpath up to a suitable level. Will continue tomorrow if Pootin keeps his finger off the nook button.
 
I let lathe-boy out of the box I keep him in and took his gimp-mask off so he could see a little better.
I handed him a chunk of steel and told him to make me a freewheel differential for a trike.
This is what he has done so far. I might let him out tomorrow too. :)

Well impressive!!
to me who knows feck all, but still ....... looks good to me!;);):):):)
 
So....
up early and off to that there Lunnen to pick up the passports with their visas in em.
We felt like we had passed an exam and got our certs!:):):)
And amazingly, of all the days and all the times they could have gone, when we got to the top of the queue who should be next to us picking theirs up?
The two nobs we met last time!:D:D:D
Se we were polite and had a little chat. They are now off to the Dordogne :rolleyes:, to flog their place, as they "cannot cope with Brexit." I pointed out that now we had the EU dogs' passports and our 6 months visas, we were no, or v little, worse off than before. There is more to it. Don't think they had integrated v well. Maybe all their little ex-pat friends were selling up and they didn't want to be out there lonely.;)
But it is true that the average Brit who buys a place over there only keeps it for 7 years. They have had theirs since 2004, so a fair innings.
Lovely day wasn't it? So we stopped on the way back for a bevvy in a pub in the New Forest.
Good thing we know all the back roads, the traffic was fecking awful otherwise.
Saw a Discovery on a spec lift with its rear wheels riding on those funny coloured ones they use for electric cars.:eek::eek:
Didn't even know Discos can be all electric now. Not that I could as i don't give a feck about new cars.
But still funny.
Also signs over the "smart" motorway. "keep to the left hand lanes and only use the others for overtaking".
Imagine if on a normal Mway they said "drive up the hard shoulder and only use other lanes to overtake"?
Madness, but this is what they are doing. :mad::mad::mad:

That's ok anyone broken down is protected by an invisible forcefield emanating from the 'X' on the gantry
 
Came home to find 2 bricks in the garden. Look up my chimneys are fine. Look next door & it’s their chimney that’s spat them out.
Knocked on the door & showed them the problem.
Also said I would dispose of the roofing sheets that had blown into the garden from last weeks winds.
Good having a landrover that doubles up as a skip

Trouble with stuff like trailers is peeps always say "get the biggest you can get," and they ain't just willy-waving.
Our box trailer is the biggest you can get, more or less and we never regretted it.
Trouble is to store it on our drive I'd have to put a car on it!:eek::eek::eek:
Starting to run out of time to get tother one fixed , sold and the stuff it contains stored or got rid of.:eek:
If I do get it, out sh!t neighbour might actually die of apoplexy which would be nice!;)
